| | Fantasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fantasy writing saw renewed popularity in the latter half of the 20th century, often influenced by these seminal works and, like them, borrowing from myth, epic, and medieval romance. | | | In this sense, the history of fantasy and the history of literature are inextricably intertwined. | | | Beginning perhaps with the Epic of Gilgamesh and the earliest written documents known to humankind, mythic and other elements that would eventually come to define fantasy and its various subgenres have been a part of some of the grandest and most celebrated works of literature. |

| | So, to, is it with the shaman or spirit-dancer, who summons the spirits of ancestors or of the natural world to answer her questions. | | | Here's a world in which all magic comes from either items, or from the Immortals (genies, angels, devils, and other minions of the gods). | | | If a magical cataclysm is a part of your world, then you'll need to know exactly where this event occurred in relation to your story, both chronologically and geographically. |

| | Al Qaeda's Fantasy Ideology - Policy Review, No. 114 |
| | This is a serious error, for the leader himself must be as much steeped in the fantasy as his followers: He can only make others believe because he believes so intensely himself. | | | Instead, other people exist in his eyes only as an opportunity to do evil: He doesn’t want to manipulate them for his selfish purpose; rather, his one and only purpose is to inflict evil on them — evil and nothing more. | | | But if this is so, then the “real” world that we take for granted simply vanishes, and all becomes determined by the will of God; and in this manner the line between realist and magical thinking dissolves. |

| | Amazon.com: The History Of Our World Beyond The Wave: A Fantasy: Books: R. E. Klein |
| | If you are the kind of person who travels through life believing in a fantasy world of the way life ought to be and are unable to accept the reality of the way life actually is, then this book is for you. | | | Most fantasies follow fairly strict conventions: They tend to either adopt or adapt one of the existing congeries of folklore such as Camelot, Middle Earth, the Brothers Grimm, Star Trek, and so on. | | | Surfing the now-endless sea in search of friends and a future, Paul encounters good and evil in the form of fellow travelers, bizarre creatures, and freakish, Lovecraftian landscapes, but no sign of life as it was before the apocalypse. |

| | GURPS Fantasy is the complete toolkit to let you build a campaign of heroic deeds and wondrous magic. | | | It also examines the nature of supernatural forces, and discusses the impact of wizards, monsters, and gods. | | | And, perhaps most importantly, it advises GMs and players alike on the kinds of characters appropriate to fantasy -- including ordinary folks, people with fantastic powers, and nonhumans. |

| | Creating a Fantasy World |
| | Something else to be careful of is unthinking use of the fantasy formula: Dark evil lord from snow-bound north against golden hero from sunny south, evil wizards, etc. Use it, but be original with it. | | | Basically, this page is not so much a 'how to', but is merely intended to make you think about the kind of world you want to create. | | | Again, I discusss this in more detail in creating the modern romance epic. |

| | The world may be a parallel realm or dimension tenuously connected to our world via mystic gates (like Narnia and the Dreamlands); somewhere in our mythical past (like Middle-earth and the Hyborian Age of Conan the Barbarian) or future (Earthdawn, Dying Earth, Zothique); or the story may have no reference to our reality at all. | | | A fantasy world is a type of fictional universe in which magic or other similar powers work. | | | This distinguishes fantasy worlds from surrealism and even from such dream worlds such as are found in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. |
